Hi,
I have downloaded OpenSuse 11.1 KDE4 LiveCD version, when I reach the
login screen and try to login using KDE4, it refuses to start and brings
me back to the login screen … but when I try KDE4(failsafe) it works
!!
So, what is the difference ? Is it ok to use it or I’m missing
something with KDE4 failsafe ? like 3d acceleratoin for example ?
well, previously I had several unstabilities with kde 3.5.x that caused
the X server to restart suddenly, but this one with KDE 4 doesn’t
evenlet me in …
my video card is Intel 945…
I’m sorry if I’m asking too many question …
Thanks in advance …
Failsafe uses safe graphics settings. If you can login from that, ok.
You need to see what SUSE is saying about your display. A good place to
start is the My Computer icon (sysinfo) It should report some info
there. I use intel and it worked out of the box.
To be honest, if it works with failsafe that is fine. It just eliminates
some hardware and graphics issues, it’s not unusual.
I prefer to use the DVD for install. You may find you have to boot that
other than the default install.
If you are running a live cd and want to see if has setup 3D, open a
konsole/terminal and type:
glxgears
It likely will not work from a failsafe boot. Intel works fairly well.
You other concern might be wireless! Often an issue. Mine works out of
the box. Just click the knetworkmanager icon and away you go.
Well, sometimes I need 3D acceleration…
I think I’ll go with the ‘gnome’ version of openSUSE… it worked from
the live CD smoothly without an issue, so, the problem is probably a
KDE4 issue …
